People are more likely to comment when they disagree, since agreement just ends up sounding like “me too!”

But I find people on the fediverse are a lot nicer

Never realized that. Good point!

Wait a second here.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/rE3j_RHkqJc

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I end up not commenting because I try to proofread and while doing it I notice I don't care enough about whatever or my comment doesn't really matter and just cancel de comment.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I do that a lot when Im about to make a dumb joke reply. Halfway through correcting all the mistakes I thankfully realized it's just not worth it.

Kinda feel bad for people when a joke I've made makes it to being posted.

[–] psilocybin@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

Definitely.

On reddit I have observed my faith in the intentions of the person on the receiving end waning over the last years bc of that.

I have been surprised at the good faith people reacted to my comments with, I haven't yet gotten to the reddit poison fully out of my system.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards

Nah this place is WAY more chill than reddit.

Mention Sync, just for fun

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sync is great!

  • Sent from my Sync app
[–] Zeragamba@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

I concur. Sync has been amazing to use.

What the fuck did you just say about Sync for Lemmy, you little casual? I'll have you know it's not FOSS, and it has options for paying for a subscription!

I've been trained in open-source warfare and have over 300 confirmed commits on GitHub. You think your proprietary software can stand a chance against the might of the FOSS community? Think again, scrub.

While you were wasting time on paid subscriptions, we studied the art of collaboration and freedom. We know every line of code in the Linux kernel and can fork repositories with pinpoint accuracy. Your closed-source tactics won't work here.

You call it a "premium feature"? Ha! We see through your money-grubbing schemes. In the realm of open-source, the true premium is transparency and accessibility for all.

So, take your subscription nonsense and run back to your proprietary lair. The FOSS community will continue to thrive and grow, empowering users worldwide with the power of choice and knowledge.

Don't know, I had some good and productive discussion here.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, and don't get me wrong, the majority of users I have engaged with here have been lovely. But occasionally you'll get the post with hundreds of upvotes, with maybe one downvote, but the comment section makes it feel like they're trying to set the place on fire.

It probably has more to do with the fact that there are far less of us than redditors, and comments are weighted differently from reddit.

[–] mashbooq@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago

No you haven't

[–] MrMamiya@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like to try to remember I don’t need to have an opinion about everything I stumble across.

Ope, there I go opining again.

Probably because you're a smug, combative asshole. The fuck is wrong with you?

Truly feels like home seeing a bunch of people pointlessly arguing about something they'll both forget in an hour

Posts lighthearted joke

Replies: Are you saying you kill puppies?

[–] PatFussy@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I prefer the term lemmitard thanks

[–] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been using 'lemmy users' but to save time i just use 'lusers'. Gets confusing with linux users but you already know if they use linux. I use arch btw.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Goddamn lemmers

Hey guys, would you like to hear about how the only good political system is the one where you seize power and suppress all dissent with ruthless violence? If you disagree with any of this you are obviously a CIA shill.

[–] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why didn't you post this to c/BikiniBottomTwitter?

You're letting u/spez win!!

Lemmings when posting a post:

[–] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Oh my fuck, you didn't just go out and assume I'm a snap case in the replies because you know fucking what..... maybe? I dunno. Just got here.

Seems chill though.
